Abstract

Labor mobility influences flexibility of the labor market, as well as the adaptation potential of economy. Companies with a high rate of internal mobility of their staff have additional advantages. The paper analyzes the scale and dynamics of internal mobility at the Russian labor market in accordance with obtained RLMS-HSE data, which is a Russian longitudinal representative microe-conomic survey, over 2006-2015. Over this period, there was a decrease in upward and downward mobility, as well as in the overall share of the internally mobile. The compiled transition matrix to reveal influence exerted by employees’ mobility the previous year upon their mobility the next year has proved that upward and downward mobility are factors that reduce probabil-ity of employees’ change of work. Based on a multinomial logistic regression that we have compiled, as well as on our simulation of conditional probabilities with regard to regression coefficients, we have identified the factors that influence various types of work-force mobility. The authors conclude that internal mobility de-termines the labor market dynamics and contributes to its flexibil-ity.
